Guinness production to be reduced at Dublin brewery
Diageo to sell 50% of Dublin’s Guinness brewery
Diageo, the world’s largest producer of alcoholic drinks, today admitted it will sell half of Guinness’ historic home in Dublin and cut 250 jobs as part of a £520 million investment plan.
The company said it will continue to brew the Irish stout at St James’s Gate, situated on the banks of the River Liffey, but will close properties around the brewery as well as shutting two smaller production plants in Kilkenny and Dundalk. The company will build a new brewery close to Dublin, which will open in 2013.
Diageo pledged to keep open the St James’s Gate site, where Arthur Guinness started brewing in 1759. The company will also continue to run the Guinness Storehouse museum, one of Dublin’s biggest tourist attractions.
